Question

Animal cells can take up sucrose against its concentration gradient using a Na+/sucrose symporter. . . Animal cells can take up sucrose against its concentration gradient using a Na+/sucrose symporter. Indicate if the following statements are true or false. In the Na+/sucrose symporter Na+ is also moving against its concentration gradient. For the symporter to work, the cell must first establish a Na+ concentration gradient. A symporter works by making the membrane more permeable to ions and sucrose. Moving sucrose against its concentration gradient is a form of active transport
